Oh for sure… never realised the originals were pretty much knackered (apart from the rust) but the new ones open/close si much nicer.

Just replaced the tailgate struts on my 2012, 3 door. though they were still working ok …with the rust breaking through I think it was just a matter of time before they failed. Opening and closing the tailgate feels so much better now.

No. It hasn’t developed so il play it by ear. My old mk4 golf used to do a similar thing … went on for years 🤔😂

Sorry for the confusion, but I was just pointing you in the direction of the dudes channel, nothing to do with the noises 😊 he has some great content on our car model.

Well mines still doing it. It hasnt got any worse. theres a YouTuber (link below) and his car appears to do it also ; heard in a couple of his videos) I’m not saying it’s normal but it seems to be common. Let us know if you get it sorted.

The sound ? Or the other issue? What engine is yours?

Careful with autodoc. They are notorious for supplying incorrect parts

I’d be interested in this too. Not so keen on larger screen idea though

Well done. Nothing more satisfying than a home spray job 👍

Can’t wait to see the pics 😁

Don’t forget your Panel prep and adhesion promotor aerosols 👍 halfords own aerosols aren't too bad so long as you are not going for factory paint colour match. It’s also worth investing in a 2 pack clear coat though it’s unlikely you’ll pick that up from halfords. https://www.halfords.com/motoring/paints-and-body-repair/primer/halfords-plastic-pre-primer-clear-300ml-258747.html?istCompanyId=b8708c57-7a02-4cf6-b2c0-dc36b54a327e&istFeedId=

Looking good Mr.G still rocking my winter wheels, think I’ll be keeping them on 🤔😂

If you’re anything like me, when parked at traffic lights, in cooler temps you’ll find your self looking at other cars exhaust for signs of vapour 🤣
